(34,149 posts)Students that had problems reading were considered stupid. My husband was lucky - he had supportive parents who KNEW he wasn't stupid. He has very good retention and comprehension skills. Me - I can scan through something and get the big picture quickly. He will take five to ten times longer to read the same material and remember the picky little details that I often miss.
A lot of students who were dyslexic before it was recognized learned to fake it. They would con others into taking notes and telling them the important parts of the class and learn other ways to disguise their limitations. I have wondered if a lot of con artists get started that way - they learn to fool people just to survive and then realize they can make more profit by fooling them in bigger and better ways.
And that gets us back to Trump - I seriously think he is a high level confidence man. Maybe he got his start in his youth and built on what he learned from his father and his own experiences but it is clear he is NOT an honest businessman or an honorable person.
